The objective of this work is to develop an indentation technique to measure the hyperelastic properties of tumor tissues in intact ex vivo tissue slices. This research involves developing an experimental setup to acquire the tissue mechanical response and a numerical model to determine the hyperelastic parameters from the measured response. The experimental setup is similar to the one previously proposed by our group [1,2]. In this current work, we will present a numerical technique of this measurement system followed by a phantom study to validate its performance.
